Desktop Snow Effect

A simple snow effect

MainWindow:

1. The main interface generates snowflakes for the grid via DispatcherTimer

2. Snowflakes fall behind and say snowflakes removed from the grid container

  Public Partial classMainWindow { PublicMainWindow () {InitializeComponent (); Closing+ = (s, e) = =Viewmodellocator.cleanup (); Loaded+=mainwindow_loaded; }        Private voidMainwindow_loaded (Objectsender, RoutedEventArgs e) {            varTimer =NewDispatcherTimer {Interval= Timespan.frommilliseconds ( -)            }; Timer. Tick+=Timer_tick; Timer.        Start (); }        //Add Snowflakes        Private voidTimer_tick (Objectsender, EventArgs e)        {LayoutRoot.Children.Add (Createsnowflower ()); }        //Generate Snowflakes        Private Staticsnowflower Createsnowflower () {varSnowflower =NewSnowflower (); Snowflower.complete+ = args =            {                //Remove snowflakes from the parent container                varFlower = args asSnowflower; if(Flower = =NULL)return; varParent =visualtreehelper.getparent (flower); varPanel = Parent asPanel; if(Panel! =NULL&&panel. Children.contains (flower)) {panel.                Children.remove (flower);            }            }; returnSnowflower; }    }

Snowflower

1. Falling animation of snowflakes and rotating animation

2. Increase the animation completion event

3. Random starting point

4. Random rotation speed and drop speed
